Application filed March 2, 1907. Serial No. 360,278- i To all whom it mali/meeneem.' Be it known that I, WILLIAM N. SELIG, ,a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State Aof-Illi` nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making and Displaying Pictures, of which the following is a specification. f

This invention relates to machines of that type in which a film or ribbon is employed for theV purpose of making pictures thereon, and after such making'displaying the pictures much magnified on'a screen.

The objects of the invention are to simplify and improve the feed by which the picture' film or ribbon isv given an intermittent ad- Vance for making thepictures and for displaying the pictures after being made 5 to furnish a positive and reliable feed for the picture film or ribbon by which Vsuoli film'k or ribbon will be iveii the required movement for making anc? displaying the pictures, to enable the osition of theuactuating partsof the machine to be adjusted as may be re quired for properly focusing the position of the picture film or ribbon, both in making the pictures and in vdisplaying the saine; to construct`a feed for the picture film or ribbon consisting of a claw or finger bar for engaging the Vfilm or ribbon and intermittently feeding the same, and actuating said claw or finger bar so as to have an in and out throw'and an up and down throw positively controlled; to

construct a claw or finger bar for feeding the victure film or i'ibbon in two parts or meniiiers one part or member having engaging pins and having an in and ont throw, and the other part ormeinber having an-up and down.

throw, and carrying with it the part ormember having the in and out throw g to construct a feed for the picture film or ribbon of two parts or members, one part or member having anin and out throw positively given thereto, and the other part or member having an up and down throw positively given thereto, and actuating each part or member throw, to construct revoluble cams for actuating tlie feed of a picture film or ribbon and drivingsuch cams by intermeshing gearingl from a common driving shaft, so that both cams will be given a rotation simultaneously;

to mount the actuating devices, as to the feedingof the picture film or ribbon, 011 a movable plate and regulating the position of the plate by means of an eccentric so as to properly position andk register the sight opening for making and displaying the pictures; and to improve generally the construction and operation of the several devices entering into the structure of the machine as a whole.

In t-lie drawings illustrating the invention Figure 1 is an elevation of the rear of the ma- '.chine withI the frame ci" su port partly broken away at one corner, an( showing the ydevices in their lowerinost position; Fig.l 2 'a sectional elevation on line a-a of Fig. 1,

The 'machine is constructed with a base or bottom plate 1,' which supports lthe structure as a whole. An upright or standard2 is attached to this plate on the to at one side,

and to this standard is attac ied a plate 3 having on its inner ed es guide strips 4, forming a guideway 5 etween -them. A plate 6 is attached to the top ofthe base 1.on the opposite side to the plate 3, and-this plate 6 on its innerface has guides 7 with a guideway 3 between them. The movable p ate 9, carrying the operating devices of the machine, is located between the plates 3 and 6, and is held so as to be movable up and down in the guideways 5 and 7 of the side plates or posts 3" and 6,*thus enabling the operating mechanism to be raised and lowered.

The vertically movable plate 9, with the actuatingl mechanism carried thereby, is raised and lowered as follows: A cross bar 10 isl fiXedly attached to the plate 9 above its lower end, and the lower end of the plate'9 has a cross piece or bar 11 projecting out therefrom, such cross bar or late 1 1 being on adepending portion 12 of tfie plate 9. T he s ace betweenthe cross bar 10 and cross p ate 11 receives thereinto an eccentric 13 mounted on a shaft 14, which shaft passes through a slot 15 in the depending end 12 of the plate, so that the plate 9, with the devices thereto attached, can be raised and lowered by turning the eccentric 13 up or down as may be required, and the plate 9 with the actuating devices thereon can be adjusted at any position midway between the imits of its up and down` movement by turning the eccentric into the proper position for the required adjustment of the plate. The shaft 14 is mounted in a sup ort 16 on a bar 17, attached to the post or p ate 3 at one end bv a rod or sleeve 13, and attached to the bedplate 1 by a foot or leg 19, and to the side post or plate 6 by a support or leg 20, and suitable screws. The shaft is also supported in a suitable journal box or bearing at the top of a post 21 having a side wing or ear 22 for attachment to the base plate 1, and, as shown, endwise movement of the shaft 14 is prevented in one direction by the bearing of the eccentric 13 against the face of the plate 9 and in the other direction by a Vcollar 23 abutting against the post 21 and secured to l hand of the operator.

Fig. 1,

the shaft 14 by a set screw 24er otherwise. -T he outer end of the shaft 14 carries a'wheel or rdisk 25 having a hub 26 attached to the shaft .by a set screw or bolt 27 or otherwise, and the wheel or disk25 has armsr handles 23 by means of which the shaft 14 can be turned, carrying with it the eccentric 13, for the eccentric to act'and raise and lower the plate 9 with the'actuating devices carried by the plate. j

ltwill be seen that the operator of the-machine, through the hand wheel on the shaft 414, can operate or turn the eccentric 13 and thereby raise and l'wer the plate 9 and the actuating devices", so as .t0 properlycenter or register the icture for correct taking and for correct disp ay, `thus''enabling the picture to be properly registered-'where the feed of the ribbondoes not center-"or register the pictures with the si ht opening. This centering or registering o the pictures with the sight opening in no manner interferes with the operation of the machine as a Whole, asno mat ter what position the late 9 may occupy the actuating devices will not be thrown out of use or disarranged. This raising and lowering of the supporting late9, with the actuating devices carried t ereb ,enables the operatoi,` to readily and quick y register the pictures and thereby overcome any defect there might be in the operation of the machine, as

presenting the pictures The side plate or frame piece 6 has therein a slot 29 for the passage of the socket or head 30 of a crank arm 31` having a grab for the The socket or head 30 has in its end*I facea T slot 32 into which is entered a pin 33fori avhubor sleeve 34 of a gear 35, and the slot'32 and the pin 33 furnish a connection between a crank 31 and gear 35 for driving the gear. The gear 35 is loosely mounted on a shaft 36 supported in bearings or journal boxes at the end of bracket arms 37 attached tothe movable plate 9, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2.

The periphery of the gear 35- has inclined cogs which mesh with inclined cogs of a pinion 38ixedly attached to a shaft 39 supported in journal boxes 0r bearings 40 attached to the movable late 9, as shown in TheI shaft 39 ias ixedly secured thereto a gear 41 with inclined cogs or ribs on its periphery, and this gear meshes with a pinion 42 having inclined cogs and fixedly secured to a shaft 43, supported at one end in a journal box or bearing 44 on an arm 45 of a plate 46, attached tothe plate 9 and slidably held in position by a guide 47 attached by screws or otherwise to the side piece or plate 6 of the frame. The opposite end of the shaft 43 is supported in a journal box or bearing 48 on an arm or sup ort 49, depending from a plate 50 attac led by screws or otherwise to the face of the movto the yfeed of the picture film or ribbon in y 54, which shaft is mounted in a suitable journal box or bearing 55 on the arm 45, and is held in position in the journal box or bearing by the hub 53 of the pinion 52 and a collar 56 attached to the shaft by a set'screw or other,- wise. The upper end of the shaft passes through a box or bearing 57 in an` arm or. cross bar 58 projecting out from a plate 59,

' attached by screws orotherwise to the face'of the movable plate 9, vand above the box or bearing 57 the end of the shaft 54 has lixedly secured thereto a pinion 60, which meshes with'a gear 61 having cogs on its side face and iixedly mounted. on a shaft 62 supported at one end in a box or bearing 63 on an arm 64 upwardly extending from the Varm or bar 58, and supported at its other end in a box or bearing 65 on an arm 66 of a plate 67, having depending ears for attaching the plate to the face of the plate 9 by screws or otherwise. The shaft 62,]ias fixedly attached thereto a 'roller 68 having on each end a series of en-r gaging pins 69 for taking into' the perforations on-the edges of the picture `film or ribbon. A retaining roller 70 is mounted on a pin 71 and has at each end circumferential ribs 72, with a groove 73 between them, for the ribs to` thc edges of the picture 'lilm or ribbon and insure the engagement of the pins 69 withl the perforations of the picture film. or ribbon, so that the revolving of the roller 68 will feed the picture film or ribben. The pin 71. is mounted in the'ends of arms 74 attached to a sleeve 75 encircling a pin or shaft 76 supported in arms 66 and 66;L

of the plate 67, and the sleeve has thereon a stop 77 engaged by the end of a spring 78, so

' the roller 68 for the feed of the as toliold the roller 7 0 inl proper relation to picture'film or ribbon. j 'Y Y The shaft 54 on one side is cut 'away 'soi asto furnish an open slot-or passage 79,a'nd thev body of the shaft 54 at the cut-awayportidn has thereon the hub 80fof a spur, pinion 81, which is attached to the shaft so as to revolve therewith by a wedgeor block 82 secured in the hub by the set screw 83 or'otherwise, (See Figs. 8, 5 and 6). The pinion 81 meshes with a lpinion 84 hav ing a hub 85-and loosely mounted on a journal or pin 86 secured to an arm or plate 87, with an adjusting nut 88 around the journal or pin and between the arm -87 and the pin-` ion. The pinion 81 is held in position against endwise movement on the' shaft 54 by stops 89 on a plate 90 attached to the arm v87. (See Figs-2 and 16).' The hub 85 of the pinion 84 has connected therewith a shutter or cut-ofi 91 by means of a backing 92, a washer 93 and a set screw 94 entered into the end of the journal or pin 86, so that the revolving of the gear 84 will revolve the shut-4 ter or cut-oh1 91 to control the sight opening for taking and displaying the pictures. The shutter is located in proximity to a tubular wall 95 having the arm 87 extending out therefrom and having a central circular hole 96, anda square hole 97 in its outer end wall, as shown in Fig. 16. The tubular wall 95 is attached by a foot `or ear 98 and a suitablescrew or otherwise to a cross piece 99 of4 a frame, having side and end strips 100, which rframe at one end Ais attached to the `fixed post or plate 3 by tubes or rods 101,

and at its other end is attached by a iiange or plate 102 and suitable v`screws or other wise to the post or plate 6, as shown in Fig.

v16. 'i The bars or plates 100 of the frame at the sides and ends' have flanges 103, forminga recess or chamber into iwhich. is entered a block 104, having attached thereto a metal plate orring 105, with a circular hole 106 which alines with a circular hole 107 in the head or block 104, and the holes 106 vand 107 are in line with an opening 108 in the frame and in axial al'inement with the hole 96 of the wall or stop .95, so that a lens of the proper formation entered into the circular plate or ring 105 will properly aline with the display opening for the picture. It will thus bel seen that the shutter or cut-ofi 91 and its operating gear and the support for the lens have a xed relation, while the plate 9, with'the actuating devices carried thereby,

can be raised and lowered, thus enabling the operator to adjust the display opening properly for centering or focusing the picture on the sheet or screen on which it is displayed, and that the movement of the plate 9'with. the actuating devices carried thereby to properly register or center'the picture does notin any way ali'cct or change the position of' the `lens and the shutter, which remain operative irrespective of the movable plate 9 and the parts carried thereby.

1 The plate 9 has thereina rectangular opening 109 for projecting the pictures onto the f screen. or sheet, and this opening 109 is in line with asimilar opening 110 in a rectangular frame 111, entered into a rectangular opening 112 of a swinging plate 113 (see Figs. 7, 10, 16) held in place by springs 114 each carried by a plate 115 pivotally attached to a lug 116 on the plate v113, so that the springs 114 on each side can be turned to engage with or be disengaged from the side bars ofthe frame 1 11 ,for holding the frame in place, so as to have ,a 'slight yield for the passage of the picture filmer ribbon between the inner face of the frame and the face of the plate 9.

shaft 36 or otherwise, so as to be movable with the plate 9. The picture lm or ribbon passes through the opening 119 between the frame 111 and the movable plate 9, and the plate 9 has a guideway or passage 120 for the travel of the ribbon; and, as shown, the inner face of the plate 113 also has a guideway or passage 121, so that the ribbon has a free line of travel and is not liable to become clogged or interrupted in its travel, and the ribbon passes through an opening 122 in the base plate.

rl`he swinging plate 113, below the opening 112 has therein an opening 123 in which is entered a face plate 124, held in place by springs 125 each on a plate V126 pivotally mounted on a stud 127 of the plate 113, so that the springs will support the face plate 124 yieldably for the passage of the picture film or ribbon', between the face plate and the plate 9, through a passage corresponding to the passage 119. The face plate 124 has'on its inner face ribs 128 with a slot between them, and the passage corresponding to 119 is formed between the edge faces of the flanges or ribs 129 and the plate 9, as shown in Figs. 7 and 10. A cross head 130 having at each end a plurality of pins 131 is located in cooperative relation with the face plate 124, for the ends ofthe pins 131 to be projected into the slots 129 with the forward.,

throw of the cross head, and to be withdrawn from the slots 129 with the rearward throw of the cross head. The body of' the cross head has therein a T slot 132 for the reception of a plate 133 attached to the end of an arm 134; and the arm is slidably in a recess 135 formed in the arm 49, so that the arm 34 can be'reciprocated, and, in order to allow of the reciprocating movement, the arm 1 34 has in its end a slot 136 passing over the shaft 43, as shown in Fig. 12. A pin 137 projects out from one side face of the arm l134 and carries a roller 138, which enters va cam groove having a circular portion 139, a project'ed portion 140 and a receded portion 141, and formed in a disk 142 iixedly mounted by its hub 143 on the shaft 43, so as to revolve with the shaft. The revolving of the disk 142, through the cam groove therein and the roller 138, gives the arm 134 a reciprocating movement by which, through the plate 133, the cross head 130is given an inI and out throw to advance and withdraw the pins 131 from engagement with the erforations of the picture iilm or ribbon. 'Fhe pins 131 are advanced and receded through a slot 144 for each set of pins, each slot formed in the plate 109, and each slot of a sufficient length for the rising and falling movement of the cross head and pins. The pins pass through 'holes 145 in cross arms 146 on a plate .147, which plate, at its upper end, is guided andheld in a slot 148 formed in the plate 50, and is guided and held at its lower end in a T slot 149 formed in a plate 150,

attached to the plate 9 and having a catch plate 151 projecting out from its lower end,

as shown in Fig. 10. The lower end of the plate 147 has a pin 152 on which is mounted. a rollery 153, projecting through the T slot 149 and entering a cam groove having a true circle portion 154, end portions 155, practically straight portions 156, and apdepressed portion, 157 unitingthe straight port1ons,,as shown in Fig. 9. The cam groove having disk 158 fixedly mounted on a shaft 159, journaled at one end in the plate 9 and yat the other end in a cross bar 160 attached at its ends to the plate 9. The shaft 159 has .the sections 155, 156 and 157 is formed in a l iixedly attached thereto a pinion 161, which meshes with a pinion 162 on a shaft 163, suported in boxes or bearings 164 depending lrom the cross bar 160, and the shaft 162 has ixedly mounted thereon a spur pinion 165 in mesh withthe gear 41 so as to drive the shaft 163 from the gear 41. The shaft 163 is held against endwisevmovement by collars 166 on the shaft and the hubs of the pinions 162 and 165, and on the shaft 163 is a' sprocket wheel 167.

The revolving of the shaft 163 fromthe gear 41 through the pinion 165 revolves the y pinion 162, and through the pinion 161 re-I .volves the shaft 159,'and With it the disk 158,

and the revolving of the disk 158, through thecam groove therein and the roller 153, f1

gives an up and down throw to the bar 147 carrying with it the cross arms 146, and, by means of the pins 131 in the holes 145 of the cross 146, gives an up and down throw to the cross head 130 and its pins 131. It will thus -be seen that by means of the cam groove of the disk 142 and the canigroove of the disk 158, the cross head 130 with the pins 131 is given a positive in and out throw and also a positive up and down throw, by which the pins lare, made to act in correlation with the roller 68, and properly feed the picture film or ribbon for taking and displayingthe pictures on the receiving screen or sheet.

The operation wilbe understood from the foregoing description, but briefly is as follows: Vllhe operator, through the shaft 14, turns the eccentric 13, so as to properly adjust the Inovable'plate 9 and the devices carried thereby inposition to accurately center or register the pictures in relation to the sight openin for projection on the screen or sheet. After t e proper adjustment has been made the operator, by turning the crank 31, revolves the shaft 36, and through the gear 35 and the interrneshing gears actuates the several parts. The picture film or ribbon passing over the roller .68 is by such roller, in connection with the claw. o1` finger havin(lr the pins 131, advanced and held momentarily to presenta picture in front of the sight openmg for projection on the screen or sheet, or

Vto take the pictures on the film or ribbon ac- .cordingly as the machine is used-t`or displaying pictures or for making pictures. The shutter or eut-off is actuated; so as to rapidly open and close the sight opening in proper time with the feed ofthe picture film or ribbon. The several devices are positively actuated from the main driving shaft and by their use a machine is provided by which the taking of pictures and the projecting of the pictures is attained with great yaccurateness and with rapidity and precision. y

The machine is'kpositive in operation, as regards the feeding of the picture film or ribbon and the operation of the shutter or cut-off, thereby insuring the operation of the several devices positively and accurately,

-making the machine a simple one for taking and projecting the pictures.

The shutter or cut off and its driving gear have the same fixed relation irrespective of whether the operatingr parts of the machine are raised or lowered, so that, no matter what the adjusted position of the parts may be, the shutter oi' cut off remains unchanged.. This arrangement enables a shutter or cnt off of less width circumferentially to be used, thereby reducingthe period of time for the operation of the cut olf, thus enabling a much more rapid exposure to be attained.
